"In the last decade of corresponding with journalists we have found that they often do behave as though they were living in a police state, or at least in a state policed by corporate power. Many are privately supportive and helpful. Indeed, many journalists who might be expected to be fierce opponents of our work, are in fact enraged by the mendacity and destructiveness of the media employing them. But they tell us their comments must be off the record; that they are not willing to comment over the internet (which is surely monitored); that they will help us only on condition that their names be concealed. Could it be more obvious that journalists do not feel free to write the truth about Alton and Kelner, and much else, because of the likely professional consequences?"

about me

I'm actually pretty ugly and my penis is smaller than the Caucasian average. At 31 years of age I still can't grow a proper beard. I used to blog but I've pretty much given up now. You can find me on Twitter these days where I take pleasure in staring misanthropy in the face and waiting to see who blinks first.
